5(x-2)=3x+4(x+1) can you also explain how you got the answer

Mathematics
1 answer:
ANEK [815]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-2)=3x+4(x+1)

First, multiply the 5 with the x and the 5 with the -2. You are using the distributive property.

5x -10 = 3x + 4 (x+1)

Then multiply the 4 with the x and the 4 with the 1 on the other side. Again, you are using the distributive property.

5x-10=3x+4x+4

Next, combine like terms. So you're going to combine the 3x and the 4x on the right side.

5x-10=7x+4

Then, subtract 5x from both sides. Also, subtract the 4 from both sides. You do this in order to get all of the x's on one side of the equation.

-14 = 2x

Finally, divide 2 from both sides. You do this because right now, the equation says 2 times x, and you need to get the x alone.

-7 = x

You are finished

The citizens chosen to represent the jury will be selected shortly after the decision-making phase. The selection of the jury allows defense and prosecution attorneys to question the reason why each citizen was selected.
